Possible Budget Cuts at CSU
Levin College research threatened
Governor Strickland's proposed two-year state budget,
which is currently under review in the state legislature,
could result in the loss of $5 million for the Urban University
Programs, which includes CSU and other state
universities. According to Ned Hill, interim dean of the
Levin College of Urban Affairs and CSU's vice
president for economic development, the reduction in
funding would curtail work on regionalism, the
housing foreclosure crisis and other widely used
projects that have provided much needed clear and
factual analyses. Despite the probable reduction in
funds, CSU plans to continue its partnerships with
Ohio State, Youngstown State, the University of Akron,
University of Toledo, Kent State, Wright State and the
University of Cincinnati.
